Herein lies Kanye Omari West (June 8, 1977 – May 1, 2018). Just hours after his “thought provoking” interview with Charlemagne Tha God, Kanye tweeted he would soon appear on TMZ live with his new bestie, conservative personality Candace Owens. What transpired was a jaw dropping admission, where Kanye stated that the 400 years of turmoil our ancestors suffered in slavery was “a choice.” Through evident pain TMZ reporter Van Lathan, eloquently explained to Kanye how dangerous his statement was. Social media decided to roast Kanye by turning his statement into a satire and rightfully mocked the rapper, the new leader of “free thinking.”
